Hmm, that is a cool idea. Makes me wonder about using something like Frost Bite from the Frost Giants:

FROST BITE
At the end of each round, if a figure that was chosen for Freezing Touch 14 is on this card and has not been destroyed, roll a single attack die. If a skull is rolled, the chosen figure receives one wound. If a blank is rolled and the chosen figure has Super Strength, destroy the Ice Rock. Whenever the Ice Rock from this card is destroyed, place it on this card and switch it with the chosen figure on this card if possible. Players cannot lose the game if one of their figures is still affected by Freezing Touch.

Except instead of turning them into an ice rock he is just squeezing them in his palms:

PALM SQUEEZE
Instead of attacking you may choose one small or medium figure engaged with Goliath and roll the 20 sided die. On a 9 or higher place the chosen figure on this card. Goliath may not have more than two figures on this card. At the end of any round where there is a figure on this card and it has not been destroyed, roll a single attack die for each figure separately. If a skull is rolled, the chosen figure receives one wound. If a shield is rolled and the chosen figure has Super Strength, or if a blank is rolled, place the figure on a space adjacent to Goliath. Goliath may not attack as long as there is a figure on this card. Players cannot lose the game if one of their figures are still affected by Palm Squeeze.

Instead of a blank being needed to release the trapped figure I changed it to a shield for SS figures and a blank for all figures. That way it's a bit easier to escape, so I could lower the roll.

Should be a maximum of two figures on his card, right? And maybe an attack dice reduction for each one he’s holding?

I was thinking he would be using both hands to hold a single figure, and couldn't make attacks at that point. Maybe a move reduction though?

[IAmBatman]

Not sure that'd be needed. But I figured, two hands, two captives?

[L0B5T3R]

I guess that's possible yea with it being easier to break out of I guess that could indicate he is only grabbing with one hand each.

Hmm, maybe a defensive reduction too? Harder to defend himself while focusing on those figures? I'd also up the roll a tad as it's pretty powerful to take figures out of the game like that.

[L0B5T3R]

It's gonna be a text-heavy ability

PALM SQUEEZE
Instead of attacking you may choose one small or medium figure engaged with Goliath and roll the 20 sided die. On a 12 or higher place the chosen figure on this card. Goliath may not have more than two figures on this card. At the end of any round where there is a figure on this card and it has not been destroyed, roll a single attack die for each figure separately. If a skull is rolled, the chosen figure receives one wound. If a shield is rolled and the chosen figure has Super Strength, or if a blank is rolled, place the figure on a space adjacent to Goliath. Goliath may not attack, and subtracts 2 from his move and defense as long as there is a figure on this card. Players cannot lose the game if one of their figures are still affected by Palm Squeeze.

[IAmBatman]

You could always break it into a power for the grabbing, a power for the squeezing, and then one more power (movement, Giant defense, etc.).

[L0B5T3R]

I like it! Maybe Super Squeeze instead of Giant Squeeze I decided to stack the negatives for squeezing two enemies.

GOLIATH GRAB
Instead of attacking you may choose one small or medium figure engaged with Goliath and roll the 20 sided die. On a 12 or higher place the chosen figure on this card. Goliath may not have more than two figures on this card.

GIANT SQUEEZE
At the end of any round where there is a figure on this card and it has not been destroyed, roll a single attack die for each figure separately. If a skull is rolled, the chosen figure receives one wound. If a shield is rolled and the chosen figure has Super Strength, or if a blank is rolled, place the figure on a space adjacent to Goliath. Goliath may not attack and subtracts 1 from his move and defense for each figure on this card. Players cannot lose the game if one of their figures are still affected by Giant Squeeze.

GIANT DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not Huge, if you roll at least one shield, the most wounds Goliath can take from this attack is one.

[MrNobody]

Looks really cool! I like how the giants are turning out like the speedsters where each one does a different “giant” thing.

[IAmBatman]

Cool stuff! I like Super Squeeze as a power title. Some quick wording edits:

GOLIATH GRAB 12
Instead of attacking you may choose one small or medium figure engaged with Goliath and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 12 or higher place the chosen figure on this card. Goliath may not have more than two figures on this card.

GIANT SQUEEZE
At the end of a round where there is a figure on this card that has not been destroyed, roll an attack die for each figure on this card, one at a time. If you roll a skull, the affected figure receives a wound. If you roll a shield and the chosen figure has Super Strength, or if you roll a blank, place the affected figure on an empty space adjacent to Goliath, if possible. Goliath may not attack and subtracts 1 from his [COLOR="red"]Move and Defense Numbers for each figure on this card. Players cannot lose the game if any of their figures are still affected by Giant Squeeze.

GIANT DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not Huge, if you roll at least one shield, the most wounds Goliath can take from this attack is one.

For the part I highlighted in blue, are we concerned about any powers that potentially place a figure on his card (Atom?) and basically tie up one of his hands that way? Or are we willing to roll with it for simplicity and figure that Giant Squeeze would properly penalize such a placement anyway? It's certainly easier to word as is, but I wanted to be aware of potentially problematic corner cases.

[MrNobody]

Could it be fixed with an easy “for each figure placed on this card with Goliath Grab” wording change?
